DUI in Florida
Florida law makes it illegal to operate a vehicle while impaired under Florida Statute 316.193.
You are considered impaired if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08% or higher, or if your normal faculties are impaired by alcohol, drugs, or a combination. “Normal faculties” include your ability to see, hear, walk, and talk, judge distances, drive safely, and make decisions and react in emergencies.
Refusal
Florida also has implied consent laws, meaning that refusing a breath, blood, or urine test will result in your arrest and a driver’s license suspension A second refusal may lead to additional criminal charges.
Protecting Your Driving Privileges
A DUI arrest can trigger an immediate license suspension through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. You typically have 10 days t request a formal review hearing or seek a hardship license. We handle the administrative side, then defend you in court. The goal is to reduce the hit to your daily life and keep you moving forward.
Potential DUI Penalties
Penalties depend on prior offenses and case details, but a first offense may include fines, probation, community service, possible jail time, driver’s license suspension, and vehicle impoundment. Penalties grow, for example, if your BAC is 0.15 or higher, if it was not your first offense, if a minor was in the vehicle.
